„Of course there will be some changes after the Rio Olympics, but it is too early to speak about that. i can promise that we will be here with our best potential team. Some swimmers like Alicia Coutts have retired after the Games. We have been performing well in Rio, we have plenty of young talented athletes, so we are optimistic relating the 2017 World Champs and the 2018 Commonwealth Games, which will be hosted by the Gold Coast” – Gary Vandeburgt said.
